from Colorado by the Sun River Range
Association are doing good work in kill
ing wolves. Six hounds recently brought
to bay double their number of wolves
and engaged them in battle, doing to the
death all but two Of the sheep and calf
destroyers. Not a few single combaIs
have occurred, resulting in uniform VIC
tory for the dog, which has the advantage
of feetness, pluck and strength. A pair
of hounds can do up a wolf In pretty
short order. One will toss the wolf in the
air and before the astonished animal is
again on the ground he is caught at neck
and loin and torn asunder. The hounds
are fed no meat, their diet being confined
to corn bread and buttermilk in most
part. The Range Association are satis-
fed they have a good investment in these
